“Hope is not a strategy,” Kelly said, criticizing Trump's Truth Social post in which he said he hoped members of the Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps and police would "peacefully merge with the Iranian Patriots."
“We got to have a plan here," Kelly said. "I mean, what is the strategic goal, and how do we achieve it?”
Asked whether the U.S. could continue the operation without putting troops on the ground, Kelly said “that is incredibly challenging.”
Kelly argued that Iran cannot be allowed to develop a nuclear weapon, but criticized Trump for having withdrawn from the Iran nuclear deal during his first term.
